Rouse released

[pbmax]

Wow. I'm very suprised they released Rouse.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but where in the world is you favorite pizza?

Really enjoy Giordano's but it's going to be a long time before I get back to Chicago...

I've found a couple local joints, one in MI one in VA that serve a good pie too. All stems from the crust: if that's not good, no topping or sauce can save it. While the deep dish is good, i think I almost like a good hand tossed better, with fresh sauce and toppings. As far as NY goes, I never need to eat a paper thin piece that has to be folded. Oh, Rouse sucked balls. What's to lose by replacing him?

Sounds like a downer.

Collins needs to get back ASAP, why the fk didn't they keep Smith?

Normally I would get on here and yell at you for not telling me who you would cut to keep him.

But since they just released one safety to sign another, its a great question. Why was Rouse on the roster ahead of Smith?

The only explanation would be that with all the injuries, they cannot afford a Safety who can only play near the LOS. They have to be able to do both. Or perhaps Collins is going to be gone longer than first anticipated and Special Teams considerations are out the door.

In answer to KYPack, I agree Rouse offerred something beyond what Waldo gives him credit for. He could play the run and hit somebody. But he was very awkward in the open field. Not exactly the guy you want as the last line of defense (run or pass) to make an open field tackle.

I'll answer both you and Waldo in the same reply.

PB, Re Rouse: I was more making a joke than nailing Waldo back. I mean, a guy who is weak against the run and the pass at S? What is his area of functionality, exactly? Rouse was one of the worst peekers I've ever seen. Til he learns to read the keys and play his reads, he'll never be an NFL safety.

Underwood did play a little safety at UC, but it was mainly as a robber in an 8 in the box scheme. He deserves to be on the roster. Good instincts and raw talent. Green as goose shit as a corner. He is no NFL safety and won't be one this season. Even if we play him there.

Paraphrasing:

Rouse - He currently sucks, and most likely he will forever suck.

Underwood - He currently sucks, there is a chance that one day he won't suck.

Rouse is a combine guy, everyone loves a safety that is 6-3 220 pounds and can run and jump, but he was a disappointment at V-Tech for a reason, he has no instincts and can't contribute significantly in the pass or the run game. He does get lucky by guessing or getting lost in the QB's read, like in the Colts game last year.

So we have zero healthy bodies that played safety during camp... Scary!

Bush played S all camp.

I'm pretty sure that Underwood took S snaps as well, splitting between CB and S.

Underwood was always pretty good against the run.

Rouse may be sub par; he may suck. So does Bush.

And we're bringing in castaways to replace a guy who started last week. Scary crap. Apparently our well was pretty dry at Safety this year after the starters...if you count Bigby as one. Underwood was not too impressive.

Dam good thing we play the Rams

Interesting that not only are the guys being brought in to replace Rouse and Smith both safeties, both are also noted ST players, namely gunners.

Would not surprise me at all if Bush is next, once Giordano is up to speed, Bush gets the axe and TT goes PS pilfering.

In fact, I would be mildly surprised if Bush is still a Packer as of week 9.

[digitaldean]

If Bush is still a Packer by week 9, then he must one helluva stash of incriminating photos on the Packer brass....

I know I know pre season is overrated. Bush looked assignment sure in pre season.

I actually think Bush gets way more crap than he deserves. I think he's a very solid 5th corner and special teams dynamo.

I predict that Rouse is picked up by a 3-4 team. The odds are against it, though. I think he'd make a really good rover player. The Pack should have used his length to blitz off of the edge.

Why? Because "people say" he's unblockable as a gunner? Not to mention he's good for plenty of ST penalties and boneheaded plays whenever he has an opportunity. I can't seem to recall one play in the same league of plays that I remember Steve Tasker (a real special teams dynamo) making on the regular. Maybe you could help refresh my memory.

The whole question I've had has finally been flushed out here in this thread... yall finally came around.

Why was Rouse on the team ahead of Smith in the first place?
